Serves 4
Equipment needed
Optional hand blender
For the salad
- 200gm loose leaf spinach, washed and dried
- 250gm fresh strawberries, washed stalked and cut into halves
- 150gm feta cheese, cut into 3mm thick strips
Method
Simply toss the ingredients together and serve as freshly as possible.
Dressing
Serves 6 comfortably
- 1 tablespoon grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Juice of half a lemon
- ½ teaspoon cracked/fresh milled pepper
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- 100ml rapeseed oil
Method
Whisk together (or whizz with a stick blender) the honey, mustard and lemon juice until smooth. Slowly add the rapeseed oil a little at a time (like a mayonnaise) so the dressing is smooth, glossy and stays together.
Finally add the water (to let the dressing down to improve the texture) then the cracked pepper and sea salt. The combination of super-fresh crisp spinach, sharp juicy strawberries and salty full flavoured feta is a marriage made in heaven. The honey and cracked pepper brings out the best of all the flavours.
